EV is an unsaturated market led by Tesla. That means there is lots of room for growth where multiple winners can shine.
Rivian is attractive because Robert, the founder, has a doctorate in mechanical engineering. He has been able to raise $12 billion from nothing. This money is going to be used to build new manufacturing facilities in the US. Moreover, Rivian is backed by two high-profile giants. Ford held a 13% stake, and Amazon a 20% stake.
